Here's a great little appetizer that is sure to impress! While it looks complicated, these pork gyoza are quite easy to make and you can substitute pork for any type of ground meat. You can find wontop wrappers in the produce aisle, usually in the Asian-themed section where you find tofu and bean sprouts. They will be refrigerated and I've never had an issue finding them.
Ingredients (filling):
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 cups finely chopped cabbage
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped carrot
3/4-1 lb ground pork (you can use any type of ground meat)
1 egg
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 package wonton wrappers
1/4 cup water
Ingredients (dipping sauce):
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
Mix these two ingredients in a bowl and serve on the side
Directions (filling):
Heat sesame oil in a skillet. Add cabbage, onion, garlic and carrot, stirring occasionally until cabbage is limp. Stir in pork and egg and continue cooking until pork is slightly browned and egg is no longer runny. Now that your filling is ready, it's time to start filling the gyoza!
On a flat working surface, lay out wrappers. Working one at a time, wet the edges of the wrapper with your finger and place about 1 tbsp of filling in the center. Pinch the wrapper together so that no filling escapes. You can google different techniques, such as this, or mimic what I did in the image above (I had square wrappers).
Once you have made all of the wontons, heat oil in a skillet and place the wontons in. Cook until the wontons are golden brown. Place 1/4 cup water in the pan and cover with a lid. Once all or most of the water has evaporated, transfer wontons to a serving dish and make your dipping sauce by combining soy sauce and rice vinegar. Congratulations, you've now made pork gyoza!
